I tend to drive the speed limit or up to 10 mph over it. It depends on the road I'm on. There are some that I go the speed limit through, and there's some, like the highways that I go up to 10 over. I've only been pulled over once, with no ticket. I was going 55 in a 40. A Massachusetts State Cop pulled me over, and i was shaking cause i hate being pulled over. And I told him I honestly didn't know it was 40 (which was actually the truth) and he gave me a verbal warning. Boy was I lucky. I was still in college and if I got a ticket my parents would've made me start paying for my own insurance. Knock on wood, have not gotten a ticket yet.

In 33 years of driving, I think I've gotten 3 speeding tickets. I just stay with traffic, which usually goes approximately 5 mph over the posted limit on the expressways. I drive the speed limit in residential areas, because I'm afraid of pets.

I tend to go 5 over in town, and 10 over on the interstate. Sometimes if I get into a group of speeders on the interstate, I will go "with traffic" in line with them - usually somewhere in the middle of the pack!

I've never gotten a speeding ticket - *knock on wood*!! I've gotten one ticket since I got my license in 2004, and that was for "careless driving". I got it wiped off completely by going to court, pleading not guilty, and paying like $100 extra to keep it off my record and no points. It was a crap ticket anyway - the cop was just out looking to harass ... its why 70% of the other people in court that day had pointless tickets by him as well!!

I drive about 4-5 over the speed limit, never got a ticket & hope to keep it that way.

I pretty much always drive a bit over the limit, never had a ticket but the cameras are usually in the same places so I'm just careful around those areas or if I hear on the radio there's a camera in a location I'm in.
